Designed to take on Microsoft&#8217;s project management <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/project/en/us/default.aspx">software</a>, Gantto focuses on helping users visualize and present project schedules. </p>
<p>Gantto, a play on words of &#8216;gantt chart,&#8217; not only allows you to create project schedules but also lets users turn schedules into presentations. In previous work at a medical robotics company, Gantto&#8217;s founders had to manually reproduce their Microsoft Project schedules and charts in PowerPoint presentations when showing their progress in meetings. With Gantto&#8217;s application, you can present directly from the application.</p>
<p>New users can actually import their projects and data from MS Project, or create their own from scratch. The task management application also features drag and drop functionality, sticky note reminders, and the ability to format presentations by color, font and more. </p>
<p>And you can make adjustments in schedules and data on the fly within Gantto during a meeting or discussion. Eventually Gantto will create a collaborative system that incorporates email as well as other communications. </p>
<p>MS Project currently has over 20 million users so the market has significant potential. And Gantto is a nice alternative for any bootstrapped business because it&#8217;s free, scalable and simple to use. Of course, Gantto faces competition from web-based project management applications such as <a href="http://basecamphq.com/">Basecamp.</a></p>

Do you have to pay TechCrunch to get reviewed? Our company has used @task for several years and it&#8217;s a very powerful tool with all the same functionality of MS Project plus a lot more for what is called Portfolio Management. It&#8217;s all completely web based. Very awesome tool. From what I can see from the screenshots, @task absolutely kills Gantto.

Apart from that, I don&#8217;t think Gantt chart only can save the day if you have several projects running. For instance, a PM tool can hardly be any good without handy email integration. To see my tasks on the chart I need to get them out of reply-on-reply-on-reply mess. Awesome email integration was one of the reasons why we picked Wrike (wrike.com) for our company.</p>
<p>If Gantto guys integrate their app with email and come up with better design, then maybe I&#8217;ll check it out.</p>
